That's correct

tuned at jez and ran 140mph ?

About 448kw at 24psi

If my stupid build ever finishes or if I don't rage quit and burn the lot I'm going to try beat that mph

 

[SiR_RB]

How far off are you mate

Cheer up sunshine, you're on the home stretch now. You just gotta keep it together a little longer[emoji12]

Just need the injectors to fit somehow, plenum on, redo the entire oil system (as the old one was filled with bits of metal) and then slot the lot in.

Honestly over it

Man you need to harden up, this has been a small and quick build by comparison to what goes on around here. 

Stop being so precious, it will make it easier when it throws a rod on the dyno

Okay so besides the fact I can't seem to get ever so popular 1/2 height with extension injectors on, I decided to bend some left over strips of aluminium to fit my obsessively large 25 row Setrab oil cooler than cost as much as my kidney.

Will redo the brackets again once I'm happy with fitment.

(Yes that's a bit of cable ties on the rear end lol)

My injector woes in a thread:

Long story short - don't try and fit 1/2 height injectors to a RB25 NEO intake manifold. Even though they're at the right height using extenders blah blah blah they don't fit. All resellers will tell you they fit, they don't. They are wrong, I am right.

Serious note, if anyone wants to take my car/motor/tools/spares the lot.. I will trade for a BMW 335i F30 or E90 (must have N55 motor) in auto.

Over it.

BMW must have less than 70 000 km/h

[No Crust Racing]

E92 maybe, sif worth F30

Give you a six pack.

Is that a temp sensor there to avoid engine bay heat soak?

 

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Sure is

In other news, oil cooler is mounted. It's a little big.

Don't get me wrong, I still hate this stupid car.

Want TS single turbo and no VANOS issues lol

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Nearly defeated but as son of immigrants I will never give up that easily

Plenum is now a R33 item, new R33 Plazmaman rail and shit fits now. Turbo housing back on too with a welded elbow, no more blowing off silicone hoses.

Not long to go!

 

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

New dip stick, just because lol.

And these engine mounts, was going to get Nismo ones but Phil insisted I get these whilst he ordered a set for his S15. TBH I think they're gay as aids, drove his S15 and could feel engine vibrations through the steering column. But that's a stock bottom, unbalanced S15 so Yeah.

[NEO25T]

How much movement or flex do those mounts have?

Are you going to put both in or just 1 on passenger side 

[chiksluvit]

I have urethane mounts on the r34 and the vibration is pretty much unnoticeable after around 500km of driving. Same mounts on a friends evo 6 was a totally different story however.. these will be fine on the Skyline I think

They seem to have "some" flex, I'm skeptical. Run both for now, if they're shit I'm going to send it.... Into the bin.

Hopefully, the RB is somewhat more "balanced" than a tractor motor lol.

Hoping to get the motor in this weekend.

I remember how brutal it was running solid mounts in the S15.....

looks like the bolt in your one is offset so should be a bit better....
